Sha'Carri Richardson, the reigning world champion in the 100m, is gearing up for her first Olympic Games in Paris. The 24-year-old athlete made headlines when she clocked a championship-record time of 10.65 seconds to win gold at the World Athletics Championships held in Budapest, Hungary.
Despite being one of the best sprinters of the decade, Richardson has never competed at the Olympics. In 2020, she won the 100m event at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, but a positive cannabis test led to a suspension by the USADA, barring her from the Tokyo Games.
Track and field events at the 2024 Paris Olympics will be aired on NBC, USA Network, and E!, with streaming available through Peacock and NBC Olympics platforms starting August 1. Fans are eager to see Richardson race as she aims to defend her title as the world’s fastest woman.
Richardson’s Olympic competition is scheduled for several key dates in August, and she will participate in events including the Women’s 100m heats and semifinals.
For those wanting to catch every moment of the Olympics live, subscribing to Peacock is an option. Viewers can also authenticate their cable subscriptions to watch streams on various NBC platforms.
As she prepares for her Olympic debut, Richardson is focused on her goal of winning an Olympic medal, adding to her accolades as the reigning world champion. Her appearance in Paris is highly anticipated, as she aims to showcase not only her speed but her unique style as well.
Richardson has consistently drawn attention for her distinct looks, including her long nails and vibrant hairstyles. This has become a part of her identity both on and off the track.
With all eyes on her, Richardson is ready to prove herself in the women’s 100m event, which is set to take place at the iconic Stade de France.
